Sat, 05 May 2018 09:40:59 +0000https://finotto.org/post/moving-from-rails-to-go/I’ve been developing in Rails since 2005, right after it’s initial release, and it’s been a hell of a ride: I’ve built close to one hundred apps, from small ones handling just a few thousands requests a month, to big ones handling millions of requests a day.
I love Ruby and Rails: the code looks beautiful, it makes me super-productive and I can get a prototype up and running in just a few hours.]]>Starting Afreshhttp://tracking.feedpress.it/link/13015/8843284

Here&rsquo;s to the sleezy marketers A few years ago, I was caught into the content marketing, building info products and growing huge email lists movement.
I thought it was cool: you build an email list, then sell a product to those people and make some money.]]>Consultinghttp://tracking.feedpress.it/link/13015/9037417

Even though most of my time is spent as the lead backend developer of an Italian startup called NearIT, where I get to play with all kinds of crazy technologies and help it scale to almost 1 billion requests a month, I&rsquo;m happy to help small teams with their backend problems, especially in regards to chosing the right architecture, scaling and building a rock solid infrastructure.]]>Newsletterhttp://tracking.feedpress.it/link/13015/8843285

Sun, 11 Mar 2018 21:03:13 +0000https://finotto.org/now/I&rsquo;m currently working as Lead Backend Developer for NearIT, which is really a blast since I get to work on really intresting problems while playing with all kinds of crazy backend stuff.
I do some consulting gigs every now and then. And have recently started working on YAKS because I couldn&rsquo;t find a good commenting solution for static websites&hellip;which I needed for this very website: it probably won&rsquo;t be a blockbuster but it&rsquo;s a ton of fan building it and I got to learn React on the way.]]>About Mehttp://tracking.feedpress.it/link/13015/8843286
Mon, 11 Dec 2017 21:03:13 +0000https://finotto.org/about/I&rsquo;ve been working as a Backend developer for the past 15 years. Started out in PHP — back in the day it was either that or ASP…sigh —, I was an early Ruby on Rails adopter and now a Golang enthusiast.
I love all things backend and I&rsquo;ve recently been focused on microservice architectures, orchestration using Kubernetes and AWS ECS, and scalability.
I also quite like to play with databases: I’ve been using MySQL and PostgreSQL for as long as I can remember, often resort to Redis to do all kinds of different tricks.]]>
